Electromagnetic Fields due to Current Flowing Parallel to Interface of Two Different Media

Abstract

The electromagnetic fields due to the line and surface current flowing in one direction parallel to an interface of two different media are theoretically investigated. Whole problems are dealt with by integral equations of Wiener-Hopf type, and described from a relatively general point of view. Particularly, illustrative cases of a plane wave incident upon a conducting half-plane and a uniform line-current parallel to its rim are studied in detail, and the solutions are given in integral forms. The results may be applied to practical problems.
